Mary Cordaro, the designer of the 100% natural, handmade, organic Be Well Collection, is a certified bau-biologist who backed into her career when she needed a solution to help her sleep. Suffering from asthma and allergies triggered by her environment, Cordaro educated herself on the biological effects of buildings on the human body, and used her own home as her laboratory. Her Be Well Pillow is filled with Kapok, a natural fiber from the seed pod of the silk floss tree. This material has the feel of down but doesn’t have the allergy discomforts and dust mites of down. Made in U.S.A.
